And to explain: “Our objective is to allow a serene event (…) of a universal celebration. It is not up to us to disrupt this event, which is why we worked in advance.” Before specifying that the investigators were seeking to unravel the awarding of contracts “from among themselves”, but that there were, “at this stage”, no “extremely serious” facts such as those of “corruption “.
The headquarters of the Organizing Committee (Cojo) and the company delivering the Olympic works, Solideo, were searched at the end of June.
